ZN428E8/ZN428J8/ZN428D
8-BIT LATCHED INPUT D-A CONVERTER
The ZN428 is a monolithic 8-bit D-A converter with input
latches to facilitate updating from a data bus. The latch is
transparent when enable is LOW and the data is held when
enable is taken HIGH. The ZN428 also contains a 2.5V
reference the use of which is pin optional to retain flexibility.
An external fixed or varying reference may therefore be
substituted.

D-A CONVERTER
The converter is of the voltage switching type and uses
an R-2R ladder network as shown in Fig.3. Each 2R element
is connected to 0V or V
REF IN
by transistor voltage switches
specially designed for low offset voltage (<1mV). A binary
weighted voltage is produced at the output of the R-2R
ladder.
Fig.3 The R-2R ladder network
Analog output =
n
(V
REF IN
- V
OS
) + V
OS

where n is the digital input to the D-A from the data latch.
V
OS
is a small offset voltage produced by the D-A switch
currents flowing through the package lead resistance. The
value of V
OS
is typically 1mV. This offset will normally be
removed by the setting up procedure (see Operating Notes)
and because the offset temperature coefficient is low
(
±
6
µ
V/
°
C)the effect on accuracy is negligible.
ZN428
Fig.4 Analog output equivalent circuit
Fig.4 shows equivalent circuit of the output (ignoring
V
OS
). The output resistance R has a temperature coefficient
of +0.2% per
°
C.
The gain drift due to this is
0.2R
% per
°
C.
R+R
L
R
L
should be chosen as large as possible to make the
gain drift small. As an example if R
L
= 400k
Ω
then the gain
drift due to the T.C. of R for a 100
°
C change in ambient
temperature will be less than 0.2%. Alternatively the ZN428
can be buffered by an amplifier (see Operating Notes).
REFERENCE
(a) Internal Reference
The internal reference is an active bandgap circuit which
is equivalent to a 2.5V Zener diode with very low slope
impedance (Fig.5). A resistor (R
REF
), should be connected
between +V
CC
(pin 10) and pin 7. The recommended value
of 390
Ω
will supply a nominal reference current of (5.0-
2.5)/0.39 = 6.4mA. A stabilising/decoupling capacitor C
REF
=
1
µ
F is required between pins 7 and 8 for internal reference
option, V
REF OUT
(pin 7) being connected to V
REF IN
(pin 6).
